TW: MENTIONS OF KNIVES AND
VIOLENCE




























Sophia's pov:

"Okay but frenemies doesn't sound that bad." Joy said.

I flicked my red nail polish onto my nails.

It was around 5pm and it was getting dark. We were calling and i was doing my nails.

"Frenemies is that bad!" I said.

"Why?" She asked.

I took a sip of my water.

"Because I basically friend zoned him." I said.

"Didn't he friend zone you a few weeks ago?" She asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"So it's not that bad." She stated.

"Maybe." I said.

I flicked my nailpolish again.

"Do you have any new guys?" I asked.

"Uh Ive been snapping this dude, his names Brayden-" She started.

"Ew." I said.

"What?" She asked.

"His names Brayden?" I asked.

"Yeah." She replied.

"Huge red flag." I said.

"Why's the name Brayden a red flag?" She asked.

"Any Ayden, Brayden or Cayden is a huge red flag."

"Why?" She asked.

"Because their basically all the exact same." I said.

"Im so confused." She sighed.

"Hm." I said.

I took another sip of water.

"Soph can i be honest with you?" She asked.

"Always." I replied.

"Miguel has liked you since you were kids." She said.

"What?" I asked.

"Everyone's just kinda knew not to say anything but he's liked you for yearsss." She said.

"No he hasn't." I replied.

"He has!" She said.

"Ugh." I replied.

"Oh wait i have to go my grandparents are here." She said.

"Kay, bye!" I said.

"Byeeee!!" She said.

No way Miguel liked me back.

She hung up and i turned on some music.

A few minutes later my mom called my name.

I walked downstairs.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Will you please run to the store for me?" She asked.

"Yeah sure what do i need to get?" I asked.

She handed me a list.

- milk
-something for dinner
-apples
-chips
-bread

"That." She said.

"Kay." I replied.

"Anything specific for the 'something for dinner'?" I asked.

"No, just get something you want." She said.

"Okay, ill see you later." I said.

"Bye hun!" She replied.

I put on my shoes and my jacket and went to the shops.

-

I was walking home, a bag of groceries in my hand and headphones on my head. I was listening to green light by lorde.

I walked past Joy's house and rang her doorbell.

She opened the door.

"Hey!" She said.

"Hi!" I replied.

"Wanna walk with me?" I asked.

"Ah-" She hissed.

"I can't im sorry my grandparents are over." She said.

"Oh, im so sorry. I forgot." I replied.

"Its okay. Next time?" She asked.

"Yeah." I smiled.

"Bye!" She said.

"Bye!" I replied.

I walked to the park.

But i hear sounds in my mind.
Brand new sounds in my mind.
But honey ill be seein you-

"Give me your wallet." Someone asked.

"What?" I asked.

Before i could see what was going on i heard the sound of a knife being pulled out of its case.

"Fuck." I mumbled.

"Give me your wallet!" The guy yelled.

"Uhm yes- I-" I stumbled.

I didn't have my wallet. All i had was my moms credit card which held almost all money my family owned.

"Uhm i dont have a wallet but i have this card-" I mumbled.

I put out my hand, handing him the card.

I was shaking, i could feel my lunch coming up and i felt tears coming into my eyes.

I breathed out to try and make said lunch stay in.

"You got anything to add!" He yelled.

"No sir." I said.

I saw someone walking towards us, they had a dog. If i yelled for help id get myself stabbed.

"Help.." I whispered.

"Don't even." He said.

He held the knife up to my neck.

His other hand was on my shoulder, gripping me aggressively.

I was so shaky that i felt the knife cut my neck a little bit because i shook it to do that.

"Ow-" I whimpered.

The dog barked.

The robber looked around and held the knife down.

Take the chance.

I kicked him and he tried to punch me but I avoided it.

I swung to punch him.

In the words of the infamous Enola Holmes: avoid the punch, make the counterpunch.

"Sophia!?" I heard someone yell.

Miguel.
